Chocoholic
Greetings to everyone.
First, chocolate pudding, and now chocolate stars. Guess who's got a sweet tooth for chocolate? This guy, that's who!
After dinner, while we were cleaning up, I gave Xavier a Brach's Chocolate Star, which is a hard-to-find chocolate treat. I did not know what he would do with it, other than at least taste it (still, everything you hand him gets a taste test).
Rebecca told me it would be a mistake as it was less than an hour before his bed time. I thought "what can it hurt? It's only one little piece of candy." Famous last thoughts!
In minutes, Xavier was amp'ed and bouncing off the walls and running around the house with a euphoric giggle. Impressed so small a food could so quickly energize my son, I went the extra mile and offered him another of these coveted treats. It was gas on a fire!
He ran around the house for the next :45 minutes with energy from where I can't venture a guess. It was something of a rite of passage to eat hard chocolate candies and have a chocolate smear around your mouth. Before he wiped too much away, I did get him to settle long enough to get a couple of pictures to document this rite of passage.
Generally, Rebecca puts Xavier to bed; she likes the ten to fifteen minutes of quiet time with her son. Want to venture a guess who got to put Xavier to bed this night?
